The Block creator Julian Cress teases next year’s season of the hit renovation show

While production for the 2020 season of The Block may still be under way, next year’s series is already being teased.

In an interview with 9Now on Friday, the show’s executive producer and creator, Julian Cress, confirmed a property had already been purchased for next year.

And without giving too much away, he hinted that it will be unlike anything viewers of the hit renovation show have seen so far.

Julian said the concept had been ‘floating around for a number of years’, and it had been discussed with Channel Nine executives.

‘An idea of how to make the show that we’ve always dreamed of, but have never been able to find a property that’s suitable, that fits the build, doing it the way that we wanted to do it,’ he teased.

Julian said it was only recently that they managed to acquire a property that ticks all the necessary boxes. 

‘We’re really excited about next year, because we have found a property that actually meets that brief that we’ve set ourselves, it’s something that we’ve never done before and we’re very excited about it,’ he added.

While he wouldn’t divulge too much, Julian said the new property is unlike anything The Block contestants have ever transformed in the past.

‘A new property that will, I think, take the show to a new level and it’s something that we’ve always wanted to do but, never really been able to do,’ he said.

The location of the property is still being kept a secret, but Julian said he’s excited about the upcoming series.  

‘We always try to evolve the show and not rest on our laurels, we’re always looking for ways to reinvent it and deliver something new and fresh for the audience,’ he added.

‘This is definitely fresh and new and incredibly exciting for all of us.’
